Mtrl Weekend Recap

I feel like I'm keeping a diary here. Over the past 3-4 years, my blog has gone from "a fashion guide for the small town freddy girl", to "Wedding bliss how-to's", to "the scandals of a single girl, diary inserts". Its interesting to look back and see how things have progressed in such a direction and brought me to this crazy time and place.

Its Tuesday, I'm back at work after a whirlwind weekend in Montreal for Roller Derby Boot Camp.
and I'm sure you're all dieing for deets on the French Diamond and my adventures.
Yes, we did see each other while in Mtrl together. He scored brownie points big time with my teammates by hooking us up with a swanky hotel downtown Mtrl, and getting free drinks at the bar (at the Hotel Vin Diesel had been staying at for the filming of the new Riddick movie.) This hotel is one of the highest class and most expensive stays in Mtrl. It was an epic posh night for us.
*Pictures of the hotel:

 

There was a giant chair is the corner of the room, you can't see here. which we named the "sex chair". It was so big, I slept on it as if it was a small twin sized bed.

  The Bar

He then came to the game Friday night : New Skids Vs Boston. New Skids Won!

and then out on Saturday to our big derby party at the Phoenix Bar.

We shared a few drinks and caught up.  But He's not the one for me right now. We do share a long distance romance, but thats all it can be.We can not be together, it just doesnt work.

It ended with FrenchDiamond thinking my teammate is my lover. Her and I shared a few glances at the bar while he was with me. You know how girls give each other flirty, stares just for fun. and then she made an angry face before we left; which he perceived as an envy of him taking up my time from her.
 He asked if she was angry I was with him. I said, "well, no, im sure she'll get over it if she is" 
So he thinks I'm dating her now. 
End relationship.

My SpitFire guy has grown on me.I spent the weekend texting him every free moment I had. He's sweet, and funny, and we fit together easily. Nothing is complicated with him. Our conversations flow easily, and he has a knack for just knowing when to kiss me or hug me at the perfectly right time. Its a romantic honeymoon phase we're in. and I like it.

I am going to invest in this relationship. He seems worth it. He makes me smile.

My French Diamond : Metro Memories

My French Diamond sends me sweet lovely texts. He thinks of me often and it always brings a smile to my face and lifts my spirit.

This was his latest message to me, and I couldn't stop smiling all morning long:

"Miiiiiiichele, ma belle, sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble...........

A guy was playing this song in the metro, made me think about you"

...3 more weeks

My French Diamond

I've been keeping this one a secret....
Over the Christmas holiday, I met a guy the old fashioned way - through a friend! Yes! No online dating involved with this one. Isn't that nice to hear? It actually still can happen. The only problem is, he lives in Montreal. and we are both so rooted in our current cities and jobs, we will never be able to be together. not at this point in life anyway...

His family owns and operates a jewelry business in Montreal. He designs jewelry for a living and does it well. he's showed me some of his work and it is amazing. a girls dream. He's made jewelry for famous people, stars and singers. and his work just fascinates me.

He was just passing through for the holidays, visiting friends, when we met. There was a deep language barrier between us. He spoke very little English, and I spoke very little French. but when it comes to love, sparks fly in a universal tongue.

We spent a day together, and then he left for the east coast for New Years Eve visits with other friends. On his way back, he stopped in to see me again. We spent another day together. He'd tell me sweet silly things about how beautiful I was, and how he wished he could spend forever with me. He says all the right things. He's just the right guy at the wrong time....

We now keep in touch via text, email and FB. We've been doing a count down to the next time we will be together . . .
Conveniently, I'm going to Montreal in February! I'm taking a Roller Derby training camp there; put on by one of the best teams in Canada. And my French Diamond lives right downtown, near my hotel. It will be a derby filled busy weekend. He's never seen a Roller Derby game, and is going to come watch the New Skids -one of the best teams in Canada! - with me :D

The countdown is currently at 4 weekends to go, and I'll be in French Diamond, Roller Derby Bliss for 3 whole days :)
